Below freezing temps will damage or kill small new fruits. There will be brown or black spots or they may fall off. Large nearly ripe fruit can tolerate lower temps but can be damaged mostly you can still eat them though. Anything above freezing wont be a problem. It sometimes gets into the 20s in south florida for short periods at night. Only harms fruit, very small plants or extremely sensitive varieties like valencia. But it warms up quickly during the day. Hasnt gotten cold in about 15 years though. The large fruit will crack and split open but you can eat it if its ripe enough but large fruit tolerates light freezes its 20s it might be a problem. Baby fruit might die off or be damaged depending how big it is the bigger it is the more tolerant. Sun dragon seems to grow and produce in georgia without protection. It has some trifoliate and grapefruit mixed in it but mostly orange and edible decent fruit.
